I too have had this issue on just about all CM ROMs. My BT headset connects and works fine for the first call, but then if I answer a call later it will answer with the BT headset, the BT headset will disconnect and then reconnect a few seconds later. I never think to mention it as I guess I've just gotten used to it over the months...
[EVO 4G General] PinkoCommie:
Me three! Mine disconnects from my car stereo, then reconnects.

On a separate note, about the only thing I miss from sense is that the AVRCP protocol worked. Not a huge deal, but it WAS nice to have that.
[EVO 4G General] davpel:
Same here. Have had significant Bluetooth issues with virtually all of the CM7 builds. Random disconnects, plus my Evo no longer automatically connects to my car stereo anymore. Have to manually go into BT preferences each time. Love CM7, but this problem has been killing me, as I listen in my car for hours a day.

GPS is still wont follow me. Took a 500 mile road trip yesterday and found if I restart navigation it would lock quickly and follow me for 5 seconds or so at hwy speeds. So I was constantly having to restart to see when and where my next turn was. Not cool. For driving its nearly worthless. I've done the "fixes" and I'm convinced anyone saying its perfect isn't testing by driving with it.
[EVO 4G General] tbgreen89:
#17 is working great for me. No problem yet!
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
This has been mentioned countless times and I think everyone agrees that GPS is hit or miss. For me however, GPS works fine. I used navigation and it followed me throughout my 30 minute trip.

I used it yesterday for driving navigation and it works for me. It's a good thing too, because I was out of town and had no idea where I was going. When you do the GPS "workaround" make sure that after your phone reboots after entering the code (can't remember what it is right now. ##GPSXXXX# ) open the Maps application and let it get a GPS lock. Only then, flash CM7 back. That is what I had to do. The workaround didn't work until I did that.

People using launcher pro and adw. Do you guys get that crazy lag when pinch to zoom is done on the homescreen. I am not sure if I am the only one. Everything else is smooth on build 17 though
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Try setting VM heap size to 24 under cm settings.

If you have all 7 screens filled with widgets and stuff, it will definitely cause a little lag.

Also, if you're using adw ex, you can set scrolling cache to low quality or disabled to help.
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
I have driven for hours with the navigation app and it's been flawless. I only had to do the Sense fix once, and then it's been fine. I don't mess with disabling the network location helper or enabling wifi to help with your location.

For you and any others not having their GPS turn on at all, does your GPS still work in Sense roms? This is a really odd issue, and I'm surprised by the number of people who have a 'dead' GPS.
[EVO 4G General] lawsonmh15:
Yesterday I saw a post regarding horrible battery life in nightly 12 showing it used 70% of the battery. After, someone showed screens of an app that allows you to manually change the levels. Anyone know the name of that app?

Levels of what exactly?
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
My gps worked perfectly in sense. I flashed rc2 yesterday, couldnt get the gps to even turn on. Flashed back to sense and did the ##gpsclrx# trick, flashed back to cm7. Now it works perfectly, locks quickly and havent had any problems. I would highly suggest anyone with gps issues at least try this.
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
I can confirm, solution number two fixed the problem :-) Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
No new features until after 7.0 is final, only bug fixes are going in right now
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
So far, nightly 17 has been both stable and fast. GPS is working cleanly (I used it to have Google Nav route me a 10-mile trip this morning, without hiccup).

Battery life has been so-so, but I've come to expect that from the 2.3.3 stuff in my brief experience so far.

The one beef is that 4G on this ROM has been problematic. It takes a minute to establish a connection, even in areas of excellent coverage (Manhattan around The Bowery and Houston St, for example), and then if it's lost, reconnecting often requires a reboot. That's arguably the most annoying issue. Oh, and while I haven't tried it, I understand that conference calling doesn't work on this ROM.

If we can get those two things sussed out, I'd not go back to a Sense ROM -- ever.

FYI, before the install of #17, I nandroided Nightly 12 (which was my daily driver), then wiped everything. Then I installed '17 fresh.

Has anyone gotten wireless tether to work?
[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
My burnt in tether works on nightly 14 still haven't flashed 17 yet so I can't answer fire that, but works great on 14, so I really don't see why there would be issues on 17..

My only real question is how do you get bluetooth file transfers to work? I've tried the app, and on the receive I get some OPP something error

[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
If you just download GPS Status from the market and clear and reset your agps problem gone. I've had this app installed since nightly 20 (pre-rc1), and this is by far the easiest and fastest fix. I actually haven't had to run the fix since then since I have the app set to update my agps every 3 days...

Did a full wipe/flash, now no GPS at all. Before it would work until I turned it off, but wouldn't come back if I turned it off.
[EVO 4G General] vudu:
Yes works after gpsclrx. Just hate flashing back to sense to do the workaround. Didn't have to do this the last few nightlies. But works great when it works.
[EVO 4G General] marcusva79:
Flashed 17 last night and its is working wonders. LauncherPRO is working great, and GPS is fine too. Battery life is alot better than 14. I just hope i dont get status bar FC or stock keyboard dissapper. Now for the pop up for CM7. would be great.
[EVO 4G General] Mad06STi:
I've been sticking to 6.1.2 because launcher pro's screen preview animation(with 7 home screens) has been horrendously slow in all cm7 builds. I just tried 17 and it was the same. I tried changing the VM heap size but the seems to have destroyed performance everywhere and I could not get it running smoothly again.

Restored my 6.1.2 and will continue to wait for final.
[EVO 4G General] Jjday7:
I totally agree. I went back to myns rom. I tried the Vm heap too and that made it even more laggy. I really like gingerbread and cyanogen but really wish it had the stock launcher from gingerbread

I ended up trying out the Savaged-Zen kernel (CFS+SBC version) and my battery life has been much better. I never have to worry about charging it at work anymore and I can get at least 10 hours out of it on 3G with moderate use.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I'm about to go ahead and flash savage myself. Non-SBC tho.

The thing is, I can easily get well over a day out of a charge if I don't mess with my phone.. but once I started doing things on it, the battery drops rapidly.

That's why I haven't tried any other kernels, don't really see them "sipping" the juice as opposed to "gulping" the heck out of it. We shall see tho..

[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
You are asking this question from your Evo, it's kind of mind boggling.

Maybe it's different on the Sense camera, but the AOSP camera stops and makes a loud BONK sound when you leave the camera app. I'd imagine it's the same for any videocamera app, in order to prevent anything underhanded or pervy. You might be able to find some security app that will record in the background, but I don't honestly know of any.
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
Is the gapps installer supposed to automatically install all of these apps? I swear I remember it doing that once, but now it only loads up each app's market page. Could this be due to unchecking the automatic restore option?

[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I'm not sure about rom manager, I don't use it to flash. Does it do the full wipes and stuff for you when you flash a rom?

If not, you want to make sure you're doing a full wipe before you flash.
[EVO 4G General] Hazelfoot:
Full wipe? Guess I wasn't as informed as I thought when I did this.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
so ya full wipe is definetly needed.... you went from sense to aosp without wiping **** stuff is going to fail.

i never use rom manager or cwm recovery (that uses rom manager) for the reasons that cwm has always had bugs on the evo that koush doesnt have the want and will to fix, and when things are automated, something is going to be screwed....

switch to amon ra recovery to get your soul back.

[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
Make sure (hopefully you are doing the whole process from recovery) that you do a full wipe prior to flashing, meaning wipe cache, dalvik, and data factory reset (you might even wanna write battery stats) And hopefully you did a nandroid of your sense rom, cuz your wimax certs are in there most importantly.

Sent from my CeEvO
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
ok thats why rom manager doesnt work... rom manager works on clockworkmod recovery and this root mentod installs amon ra. unless you installed cwm through rom manager after, then that is why it messed up.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
People here can definitely help you through it.

Just need to provide some info, ask some questions.

I would get the lastest version of Amon Ra recovery, you can do so via rom manager.. under "flash alternate recovery".

Once you do that, download the latest Cm rom to your computer, hook your phone up to your computer and put that rom on your sdcard.

Then after you unhook your phone, boot into recovery, find where it says wipe. And do the full wipe(factory reset) do it twice to be safe, then do the same thing for cache and dalvik cache.

After that's done, you'll hit return, go to flash.. choose zip to flash... find the ROM and flash it. Let it complete then reboot system.

[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:

[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
here is the page. donwload the pc36img.zip one. place that on the root of your sdcard (not in any folders) and name it EXACTLY pc36img.zip. it needs to be exact. if you are set to hide extensions, turn that off or it will be named zip.zip. make triple sure it is exact. then turn phone off, and hold power down and volume at the same time. it will boot into a white screen with scating droids at the bottom. it will scan, and ask if you want to update. hit vol up to accept. it will finish and ask if you want ot reobot. hit vol down for no. select recovery from the list, and you should see light green text and amon-ra recovery 2.3 in the bottom.

btw, make sure in hboot that it says s-off in top right. s-on means you are not completely rooted.

ok, first of all, stop using rom manager. the nightlys come in to the database 3 days late anyways. use mirror.teamdouche.net.

second, any sense rom. any one at all. besides the z ones.

third, its ok not to wipe from nightly to nightly. jsut wipe cache and dalvik. this can only be done manually though, so another reason not to use rom manager.
[EVO 4G General] brofist:
This is misguided advice; the general rule of thumb is to wipe cache and dalvik between kernel changes.

ROM Manager is entirely capable at its duties and to recommend ditching it because your personal preference is against it is for me to recommend you not to drink soda because its against my preference.

Let them use what they are comfortable with, and deal with e-peen flailing after they are used to what (and when) to flash x with their y while z people are watching.
[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
If your looking for the keyboard from the factory sense rom, then I must ask why, the gingerbread keyboard is sooooooo much smoother... Oh you can also hit up swype.com and I think they are still accepting registrations. The new swype is pretty nice I must add as well...

Now regarding rom manager, I personally like it and will continue to use it but as started it is slow on getting newsy nightlys, but having fix perms right there to use while running is (not having to go to recovery just to run it) makes it well worth it. But yes do all your flashing, wiping, and nandroiding from recovery no questions (and preferably amon RA supersonic 2.3, as posted earlier).

Very sound advice...

Sent from my CeEvO
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
well, look who's misguided now...

flashing a rom changes your kernel. even if it is flashing the same kernel, it can still mess things up.

yes, dalvik cache is created by the kernel, but normal cache is created by the /system and /data partitions, and so flashing a rom does mess that up.

it is always smart to wipe in between.

also, i have had many problems with rom manager in the past, including it flashing the z1 version of cm7 by mistake. not many people use cwm, the recovery it works with, because it has lead to many rsa key losses in the past, doesnt wipe dalvik correctly (i bet you wouldnt know that since u never wipe it) and cant run amend scripts, which most of the community, including me, perfers writing in over edify.

so next time you call my info misguided, make sure you have the facts and dont use the word e-peen

[EVO 4G General] grungbuk:
First of all i think you need to chill

second of all the general rule is to wipe both caches between nightlies and do a full wipe between kernel mods

[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
This is what I do as well. Between each nightly I always wipe cache and dalvik cache. I do a full wipe on RCs, but that's my preference..
